ARMAGH.

A man named William Nugent.
about sixty-five years of age, carter,
employed between Ready and Armagh,
and residing in the former town, met
with his death at the Great Northern
Railway station at Armagh. He had
been crossing the line of the goods sta
tion, or rather little outside of it, and
took no notice, as it was dark, that
there was some shunting Of wagons
going on at the time. He was struck by
one of the buffers and knocked against
q wagon which was set in motion and
passed over one of his legs. When
taken up he was not quite dead. He
was instantly conveyed to the county
infrmary. He only lived very short
time. He was man very much re-
spected, both in Ready and Armagh,
and there is great sympathy felt for his
family.

Of Herman Schinkel, a printer. OF

probably to King William Ill. that
the introduction of Wallpapers into
England is due. Paper-hangings Of q

before the time OF William Of Orange;
but they usually consisted merely OF

The art of paper-hanging in imitation

William came TO England. 1t was on
the walls of the ,lrawing-room at Ken

Fokker attributes this action to the
protoplasm Of the animal. since the
fermentation goes on when tho most
minute microscopic scrutiny fails to
reveal tho presence of microbes.
When tho production OF acid has
reached a certain stage, the fermenta.

The showers Of our summer aftsr'
Moons are due to q change OF tempers-

air Is capable Of holding more moist

When by any means layer or current
OF warm air, which Is saturated with

Of the vapor must fall as rain. Cold

same results. In mountainous coun.
tries this cooling down OF the warm
and damp air Is most commonly pro-
duccd by the air being brought Into the
neighborhood Of mountain.tops wnicn
are cold.
1t Is for this reason that In such
countries the showers mostly originate
among the mountains and como
through the valleys out upon tho
plains. In our Eastern States this pc
culiarity of showers is often to be seen.

From such high peaks the clouds rare'

surplus moisture OF the air is deposited
in the form OF rain or snow upon tho

1t Is this circumstance 10 which
ought to be attributed the abundance
Of snow upon the higher portions OF

there all the time. An English trav-
cler in Nicaragua, Mr.. S. p. Oliver.

Mounted infantry suffer In any case

Der must be left to take caro- OF tho
horses, and the remaining two.thirds
are hampcred by the necessity of keep

form conspicuous mark for the cne-

infantry under these conditions with
